How Men Are Getting Their Bladder Control Back After Prostate Surgery Without More Kegels

Whether they're weeks out or years into wearing pads, here's what's helping men get through the day dry again.

For most men, leaking after prostate surgery is the part nobody prepared them for. Many have done their Kegels faithfully and still feel stuck. The good news is that more and more men are getting their control back, and it isn't by adding more reps. Here's how they're doing it.

1. They're learning that two muscles control their bladder, not one.

After the prostate is removed, two muscles do the work of holding urine in. The first is the pelvic floor.

The second is the obturator internus muscle, a deep hip muscle right beside it. When both are strong, control usually comes back. When one stays weak, leaks tend to hang on.

2. They've stopped adding more Kegels and training both muscles together.

Kegels are a good exercise, and for most men they've already done their job of strengthening the pelvic floor.

But more Kegels won't reach the obturator internus muscle.

That's why many men plateau no matter how many reps they do.

Once they train both muscles together, progress often starts moving again.

3. They're using a trainer built specifically for men after prostate surgery.

Fortis was designed for exactly this. You sit in your chair, place it between your knees, and squeeze against gentle resistance. That trains your pelvic floor and your obturator internus muscle at the same time.

Ten minutes a day, even while you watch TV.

No insertion, no wires, no app. It's recommended by physical therapists and has been used by more than 56,000 men.

4. They're seeing steady improvement.

Most men don't notice a dramatic change overnight.

In the first week or two, the main difference is usually feeling the muscles working properly during each session.

Around weeks two, many men start noticing smaller, less frequent leaks and needing fewer pads.

By week three to four, many get down to one light pad a day or none at all.

Every recovery is different, but for most men they see very steady improvement.

5. It's helping men at every stage of recovery.

"I was 5 pads a day for seven weeks, used this trainer and was dry after two weeks." — Larry G., weeks after surgery

"Was doing pelvic exercises and going through 5 pads a day for months without improvement... am only going through 1 light pad a day now." — Samuel R., after a plateau

"I have had incontinence for nearly 8 years since my prostate surgery... I have it for nearly a month now and it works." — Leonard M., years after surgery

If you've just had surgery, check with your surgical team on when to start.

6. They're trying it without any risk.

Fortis comes with a 60-day guarantee. If it doesn't help, you get a full refund and keep the trainer. It ships in a plain, unmarked box.
